General Comments and Observations:
"While we dealt with many controversial issues from
welfare reform to handgun legislation, one controversial issue was the
passing of the new football stadium and the move of the Cleveland Browns
to Baltimore. After voting for the new stadium, the local paper ran
editorials and pictures of those legislators voting for the project and
asking their readers never to vote for them again.
"Serving on the Judicial Proceedings Committee allowed
me to make a significant impact on dealing with issues that affected our
criminal justice system. Working on domestic violence legislation
and making strides in that area was very important to our citizens.
"The most memorable time was in working with my
colleagues and the speeches on the Senate floor. Of course, if the
speeches got too long you could find everyone in the Senate lounge."
